In Case of Emergency
Despite regular service in accordance with the planned
maintenance schedule and perfect operating condi-
tions, faults may occur that must be remedied before
the boat can continue its trip. This chapter provides
advice on how to remedy a number of conceivable
faults.
If a fault occurs, confirm any fault alarm and take the
necessary actions. See this chapter and refer to the
Fault Handling page 25 chapter.
Starting Using Auxiliary
Batteries
WARNING!
Explosion hazard. Batteries contain and give off an
explosive gas which is highly flammable and explosive.
A short circuit, open flame or spark could cause a vio-
lent explosion. Ventilate well.
WARNING!
Never confuse the positive and negative poles on the
batteries. Risk of arcing and explosion.
1 Check that the auxiliary battery has the same volt-
age as the engine system voltage.
2 Connect the red positive cable to the plus (+) ter-
minal on the discharged battery and then to the plus
terminal on the auxiliary battery.
3 Connect the black start cable to the minus (–) ter-
minal on the auxiliary battery and to a place a little
distance away from the discharged battery, e.g. the
start motor's negative terminal.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances may the black jumper cabel
(–) come in contact with the positive connection on the
starter motor.
4 Start the engine and let it run at fast idle for approx-
imately 10 minutes to charge the batteries. Make
sure there is no extra equipment connected to the
electrical system.
